John 8:14-39

¹⁴Iesus answered, and sayde vnto them, Though I beare recorde of my selfe, yet my recorde is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I goe.

¹⁵Ye iudge after the flesh: I iudge no man.

¹⁶And if I also iudge, my iudgement is true: for I am not alone, but I, and the Father, that sent mee.

¹⁷And it is also written in your Lawe, that the testimonie of two men is true.

¹⁸I am one that beare witnes of my selfe, and the Father that sent me, beareth witnes of me.

¹⁹Then saide they vnto him, Where is that Father of thine? Iesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor that Father of mine. If ye had knowen me, ye should haue knowen that Father of mine also.

²⁰These wordes spake Iesus in the treasurie, as hee taught in the Temple, and no man layde handes on him: for his houre was not yet come.

²¹Then saide Iesus againe vnto them, I goe my way, and ye shall seeke me, and shall die in your sinnes, Whither I goe, can ye not come.

²²Then said the Iewes, Will he kill himselfe, because he saith, Whither I goe, can ye not come?

²³And hee saide vnto them, Ye are from beneath, I am from aboue: ye are of this world, I am not of this worlde.

²⁴I said therefore vnto you, That ye shall die in your sinnes: for except ye beleeue, that I am he, ye shall die in your sinnes.

²⁵Then saide they vnto him, Who art thou? And Iesus saide vnto them, Euen the same thing that I said vnto you from the beginning.

²⁶I haue many things to say, and to iudge of you: but he that sent me, is true, and the things that I haue heard of him, those speake I to the world.

²⁷They vnderstoode not that hee spake to them of the Father.

²⁸Then said Iesus vnto them, When ye haue lift vp the Sonne of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I doe nothing of my selfe, but as my Father hath taught me, so I speake these things.

²⁹For he that sent me, is with me: the Father hath not left me alone, because I do alwayes those things that please him.

³⁰As hee spake these thinges, many beleeued in him.

³¹Then saide Iesus to the Iewes which beleeued in him, If ye continue in my worde, ye are verely my disciples,

³²And shall know the trueth, and the trueth shall make you free.

³³They answered him, Wee be Abrahams seede, and were neuer bonde to any man: why sayest thou then, Ye shalbe made free?

³⁴Iesus answered them, Verely, verely I say vnto you, that whosoeuer committeth sinne, is the seruant of sinne.

³⁵And the seruant abideth not in the house for euer: but the Sonne abideth for euer.

³⁶If that Sonne therefore shall make you free, ye shalbe free in deede.

³⁷I know that ye are Abrahams seede, but yee seeke to kill mee, because my worde hath no place in you.

³⁸I speake that which I haue seene with my Father: and ye doe that which ye haue seene with your father.

³⁹They answered, and saide vnto him, Abraham is our father. Iesus said vnto them, If ye were Abrahams children, ye woulde doe the workes of Abraham.
